Abstract

The increasing hospital costs have provoked discussions about Diagnose Related Groups (DRG) and its role in controlling the growth of hospital budgets. The relevance to current operation statistics and the structure of DRG in orthopedics are analyzed. The direct application of DRG to Scandinavian statistics does not appear to be reliable.
